Head coach of the national team Hugo Broos commented on his team’s victory in the 2026 Emergency match against South Korea (1:0), which allowed them to qualify for the playoffs.

" It was already difficult to find free space in the south of Korea. We acted clearly in defense. We scored a goal, and then, for 20 minutes with our hearts pounding, we checked for the final whistle. The first match of the tournament was not the most exciting for us, and after that we were gradually added to the game.

We want to take away our satisfaction with the upcoming match. And who knows how it will all end Perhaps we will be able to advance to the 1/8 finals.

Those that we have achieved in the last five years are simply breathtaking. If you work at once for so long, the connection begins - it’s more than just a fight between the coach and the graves, we became friends. “We just need to get used to it,” the FIFA press service quotes Broos as saying..
